First highlight !!

Because the juvenile Goshawk (Havik) frequently visited the hide the last couple of days I tried to spend as much time as possible to see him. On the 15th of January it was a cloudy and rainy day, not ideal for photography. Despite of this bad weather I decided to go to the hide. After waiting for an hour with almost no visitors suddenly the juvenile Goshawk was there. He immediately went for the prey and started eating. My heart was pounding from excitement ! The bird wasn't shy at all and didn't bother the noise of my camera or me moving around the lens. He stayed eating for almost half an hour before taking off when 2 Common Buzzards were flying over, shouting all the time.
